poll

How do you maintain your sand bed? Do you use a gravel vac to clean it out every time you do a water change, do you stir it once a week, or just leave it be? There's some debate about what the best method is -- if you vac, you'll clean out old detritus and keep the water clean, but perhaps pull...

Inspired by the other recent salt thread i am curious as to what everyone is using and why you chose that particular brand. Maybe a tank shot or two as well would be nice! If I have left one out let me know so I can get it added!

I have been thinking about cool and helpful things that R2R can add to help us a reefers help others! I am specifically thinking about things that are too are could add to help Us help others with their issues and questions. Post your ideas in the thread and I will add them to the poll!

I was both impressed and financially depressed when I realized how many frags I have.

So - I keep hearing one needs to do x, y, z before adding (insert difficult to keep coral or fish here). I wanted to see what everyone thinks is the MOST important thing. I've heard every one of the choices below - so I'm interested in what everyone thinks. If you have another factor that you...

Fellow reefer, im trying to get a feel for how many of you do ICP testing and which one you prefer. If this is about knowing the 32 elements in your reef water, then why is there a cost difference? Excuse my ignorance or grammar. Just looking for input. I have a poll, which one to pick and how...

Hows it going R2R I run a 60g display with a 10g sump and my 10g ATO last me 3weeks. How long does your ATO last? How big is your Total water volume and ATO? I gotta say as I kick my feet up and refill my ATO for the first time in 3 weeks, that this sure beats the heck out of using a Home...

Just like the title says, how much flow do you run through your return pump and back to the display tank. There are a number of opinions on how much GPH you should (or shouldn’t) run through your filtration systems, but really for this poll, I’m just interested in how much flow, in approx. GPH...

This is the thread for my new 20 gallon SPS/LPS reef. It is an upgrade of my 7.5 gallon SPS/LPS borderline pico/nano found here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/7-5-gallon-bow-front-sps-lps.309229/ As you can see it is fairly crowded... The first thing I will do in this thread is...

My skunk cleaner goes absolutely crazy each and every time I feed. He is upside down, dancing all over the tank grabbing bites -- at least until the clowns chase him back. So is he starving or is this just typical behavior? How does your feed?

Just curious to know who long people have been able to get flame scallops to live in their tanks. I currently have a red flame and an electric red flame scallop that has been in the tank for a year now. I was told to only expect them to live 6 months or less.
